An inductive power transfer (IPT) pad and system for the charging of electric and hybid electric vehicles. The batter of such a vehicle can be selectively coupled to a high power electrical supply for fast charging or a lower power electrical supply for charging using IPT. The batteries of the vehicles are used in a system to control the load demand in an electricity network through variations of the frequency of power supplied.

A demand side electric power supply management system is disclosed. The system comprises an islanded power system having a point of coupling to a supply grid. The islanded power system supplies a plurality of electric loads, each of which is associated with a load controller to control the maximum power demanded by that load. A measuring means associated with the point of coupling measures the total power transfer between the grid and the islanded system, and a system controller monitors the measured power transfer relative to a set point and provides a control signal to a plurality of load controllers. Each load controller receives substantially the same control signal and determines the maximum power which each load associated with the load controller is allowed to draw from the islanded power system based on information contained in the control signal.

An inductive power transfer system (IPT) pick-up comprises: a pick-up coil capable of generating a voltage by magnetic induction from a primary conductive pathway, and a tuning capacitor associated with the pick-up coil to provide a first pick-up resonant circuit; a first output associated with a first control means to substantially control the voltage or current provided by the first output; a further resonant circuit connected in series or parallel with the first pick-up resonant circuit; and a second output associated with a second control means to control the voltage or current provided by the second output. A method of providing an additional independently controllable output from an IPT pick-up having a resonant pick-up circuit is also disclosed.

A magnetic flux pad (BPP) is provided for generating or receiving magnetic flux. The pad may be used with an inductive power transfer system, and comprises a magnetically permeable core (4) and two substantially flat overlapping coils (2, 3) magnetically associated with the core (4). The coils (2, 3) are arranged so that there is essentially no mutual coupling between them.

A method is provided for controlling a resonant circuit (1) of an ICPT system. The resonant circuit has a controlled variable reactance (2), and a predetermined perturbation is introduced in the magnitude of variable reactance. The change in a property of the resonant circuit in response to the perturbation is sensed, and the variable reactance is varied to alter the resonant frequency of the circuit in response to the sensed change.

An arrangement for supplying a load with electrical energy from a power source comprises a textile, woven floor covering (101) with longitudinally running warp threads and transversely running weft threads, three or more current conductors (106) that are spaced apart and substantially parallel to one another being woven in either as warp threads or as weft threads, the current conductors replacing part of a filling warp, a binding warp or the weft threads during the weaving operation. The arrangement also comprises a feed for the connection of the current conductors (106) to the power source and a coupling device (130) for picking up electrical energy from the current conductors (106) in the floor covering (101) and transporting it further to the load when the coupling device (130) is brought into a power pick-up area of the floor covering (101). The coupling device (130) is formed in particular in such a way that electrical energy can be inductively picked up from the current conductors (106) running in the floor covering. The supply arrangement allows a high degree of flexibility and can be integrated well in rooms.
